What towns did the cattle trails and the railroads intersect to form cattle shipping centers?

The cattle trails and railroads intersected in towns such as Abilene, Kansas; Dodge City, Kansas; and Cheyenne, Wyoming to form cattle shipping centers during the late 19th century. These towns became significant hubs for the cattle industry due to their accessible transportation networks for moving cattle to markets in the East.


Why did Texans drive their cattle north when the largest markets for beef were in the east?

Texans drove their cattle north because the railroads initially only went as far as the Midwest. By driving cattle north, they could access the railroads to transport the cattle to larger markets in the east. This long cattle drive became known as the Chisholm Trail.


Why did the cattle trails tend to begin in south Texas?

Cattle trails tended to begin in south Texas because this region provided ample grazing lands and mild climate for cattle to thrive. Additionally, cattle could be easily transported by ship to south Texas from Mexico, where many of the cattle originated. The expansive open terrain in south Texas also allowed for the efficient movement of large herds of cattle towards the Northern markets.


Why did the cattle trails begin in south Texas and travel north?

Many of the large cattle barons lived in the south, many in the state of Texas. The railroads did not go that far south for many years so the cattle had to be driven north the 'old fashion way', by horse and rider. Once at their destination the cattle were sold and loaded into rail cars to be taken to other cities, usually in the east.


What is the difference between the highlands lowlands and uplands of Scotland?

Scotland has three major land regions: The Highlands A rugged, barren region that covers the northern 2/3 of Scotland. There are two major mountain ranges, the Northwest Highlands and the Grampian Mountains rise in this region. The ranges have parallel ridges that run through the Highlands from northeast to southwest. A deep valley called Glen Mor or the Great Glen separates the two mountain ranges. The highest peak in the British Isle is 4406 feet (1343 meters). Ben Nevis, rises south of Glen Mor. The Highlands have two kinds of valleys. Steep, narrow glens and broad, rolling straths. Much of the land in the Highlands is a treeless area called a moor or a heath. The most rugged land lies along the west coast. Most Highlanders live on the narrow coastal plains. The Central Lowlands The valleys of the Rivers Clyde, Fourth, and Tay cross the Central Lowlands. This region has Scotland's best farmland. Wide, fertile fields and low hills with patches of trees cover the entire region. About three-fourths of Scottish people live in the lowlands. The Southern Uplands They consist of rolling moors broken in places by rocky cliffs. The top of the hills are largely barren, but rich pasture land covers most of the lower slopes. Many sheep and cattle are raised in the southern uplands. In the south, the uplands rise to the Cheviot Hills.
